Patients with psoriasis who received biological therapy continued their treatment at a high rate during the early period of the COVID-19 pandemic. No COVID-19 diagnosis was made among patients whether they continued or discontinued treatment. Recurrence and exacerbation of psoriasis in a significant proportion of patients who interrupted treatment and absence of COVID-19 diagnosis in each group support the importance and safety of continuity of biological treatments for psoriasis in COVID-19 era.
